Car transport companies?

What companies do you guys recommend for transporting a car? I haven't dealt with this before, but the buyer may not have the time to fly out and drive the car back.

Abbotsford, BC to Saskatchewan.
4 door sedan if that matters.

Looking for value and service. I'm looking up companies on Google but first hand experiences always help.

Shipped a car from Victoria to Montreal via Hansens. No issues and reasonable price.

Strange, couldn't edit my post above (using my phone.)

I forgot to add that the quote between Hansen's and Livingstone were comparable. I didn't go with Livingstone because of personal timing and availability. I should also mention that both were easy to deal with.

I used Livingston's. twice.
i used it once to ship a car i boguht on ebay from toronto.
and i shipped one sold on ebay to edmonton.

both times i filled the trunk with an extra set of rims

it was the cheapest.. although i save $400 bucks if i drop it off in vancouver instead of victoria.

but they dont usually leave until the freight is full.

one time it took over a month

Try https://www.uship.com/ . Used it to move my R8 from Nanaimo to Victoria when it needed a new clutch.

The dealership I dealt with shipped a car from Ontario to Vancouver with Hansen. It was cool that I can track the car's location on their website and the car actually arrived a few days before schedule. Cost about $1250 tax in but I think that's because the dealership got me a discounted price.

Anymore suggestions other than the one's listed here?

I'm looking to transport from Ottawa to Vancouver. Looking for cheapest option. Car isn't anything special and I don't care too much about what happens to the exterior, but it needs to be in the same driving condition when it gets picked up and dropped off.
